The build failures from previous comments were resolved, and jruby 1.7.21-2ubuntu4 is available in Ubuntu 15.10. It might be possible to make this available for older Ubuntu releases via backports, but that would likely include backports of several dependencies as well, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Requesting_a_Backport for details.
For those looking towards the future, there is ongoing work in Debian to package the 9.0.0.0 release, but it is currently blocked/waiting on a newer version of maven-polyglot, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792150. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #792150 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792150 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1103460 Title: JRuby needs to be updated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jruby/+bug/1103460/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
